Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Forest Monster; or, Lamora, the Maid of the Canon" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the American West during an era when wilderness and native tribes presented both adventure and peril to settlers. The narrative introduces characters like Fred Hammond, a young adventurer, and Lamora, a mysterious woman who provides crucial warnings to an emigrant party threatened by Native American warriors. The opening of the book establishes an atmosphere of tension and suspense as an emigrant caravan encounters harsh weather and potential danger from an approaching Native American war party. The protagonist, Fred Hammond, becomes particularly uneasy as he senses a looming threat. His concerns are amplified when Lamora, a woman who declares her intention to help, arrives just in time to warn them of impending danger from a thousand Blackfeet warriors. As the night deepens, the caravan prepares to flee westward into the unknown, setting the stage for further adventures and the search for Lamora, whose own mysterious background intertwines with the tale of survival and romance that unfolds.
